No problem, Anya! Let me know if you change your mind. We are not TTCing either yet, but I still hang out on these fora bc of the great conversations

Thanks for the new thread!

[dayiscoming2006]

I'm getting more and more symptoms that make me think I am pregnant again. I was able to tell every time before I could test positive, so most likely I'm right. I am a bit concerned though. I am waking up frequently again and had a case of insomnia last night. Insomnia and frequent wakings were my first signs that something was up last month. I never had insomnia with my healthy pregnancies though, so I don't know if that's a good thing. Also, my pinky toe nail just fell off painlessly and for no good reason I could think of last night. My toe looks healthy except for no nail... That seems very odd to me. I hope everything will be OK. :-/

EDIT:

Well, I just looked it up and my toe nail might have come off because I went hiking a few miles yesterday with my 17 month old on my back. I am surprised I didn't feel any pain though. Weird.

Thats happened to  me.  You probably pushed through the pain.  A bit of mind over matter.  Plus if you don't know something is happening it hurts less.  Once a toe nail is off it really doesnt hurt. :)

YAY Nerrisav!!!!!!!!!! so exciting!!

[LivingSky]

Congrats Nerissav!

Anya, I'm so sorry for your loss, and glad you're staying with us.

AFM: Can I please be moved to Waiting to Know/2WW? I O'ed on Friday with some pretty heavy duty O pains. Hopefully that means a good O and we catch the egg! At least our timing was good this month. Down side, if I do get pregnant this month, I'd be due only a few days away from my DS' birthday. Ah well, he may as well learn to share now... lol

[FreedEm11]

Hi all,

Anya - Thanks for the new thread. I'm glad you're sticking around through all this. I wish I had been more active during my loss. As you know, this is a great place for love and support.

Nerissa, Amli, Kitteh, and SweetMama- HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! Sooo excited for you guys!

Day and Living - I hope you get your BFPs very soon. Both of you have very exciting/promising symptoms! Lots of baby dust to you.

AFM - I can't quite tell when I O'd because my temps were really weird this month and I was on vacation this weekend and couldn't temp (was on buses over night etc). I think I might not have ovulated at all, which happens to me sometimes. If I did O I think it was on the 11th because I had weird cramping on just the left side on the 17th. I took pg tests yesterday and today (not FMU) and both were negative. I am only 10 dpo if I DID ovulate so I'm not too upset. When I was pregnant before I tested 14-17dpo and got all negatives until I finally got a bfp on 18 dpo. Do any of you know if the reason it took so long to get a positive last time is because the pregnancy wasn't going to stick? I normally have pretty long cycles with late ovulation etc (when I do ovulate) so it might just be one of those things where I don't get positives as soon. My FF chart is above if any of you want to look at it. Anyway, Can you please move me to Waiting to Know/2WW? I no longer have fertile CM so I think it's time to move onto the next "stage" of waiting. Thanks. =D

Edit - I just checked CM and it was EWCM, so idk lol. You don't have to move me, we can just wait things out. I'll take an opk in the morning and see what it has to say.

So I think I got my bfp a little earlier, not sure how to attach the picture from my phone. Anyone know how?

[anyalily]

FreedEm, I moved you to the 2WW. Good luck!

Grateful Stella, exciting! Fingers crossed for you.

I finally felt up to doing a little reading about miscarriage and looked up cedar oil in early pregnancy. I feel pretty sure that the heavy use of cedar oil in our house played a role in my miscarriage. We have been using it to combat the buggies... We just did another treatment and plan to do a third in 10-14 days. Hopefully that will be the last one. So I am definitely going to wait a few months to let it clear from our environment before we try again. It makes a lot of sense... Sad, but relieving too. Of course, it could have been anything, but I was feeling low about it being due to my poor health (which isn't that poor, I am just overweight!)...

Baby dust to all you lovelies!

When you go to make a post up where the options like bold, italics, underline, size, color etc are there should be a little paper clip you can use that or click the one to the left (when you high light over it, it says picture). I hope you are able to upload soon! So exciting!

Oops, didn't catch the part about you trying to do it from your phone. Try it the way I said, if that doesn't work maybe there is a way you can make it your profile picture or something. =)

[gratefulstella]

OKay so here it is, It was definitely NOT FMU- It wasn't even morning anymore. It hadn't even been an hour since I had peed last but I figured I would give it a shot. There is a definite line  :D I am just hoping this one sticks, We had a MC last year around this time...So FX and mucho baby dust- but please don't move me yet. I am so EXCITED to tell someone about this- we aren't telling anyone for a little while. Last year we went crazy telling everyone and 2 months in we lost it. But I bled a lot last time (thought I had my period...but still turned out Preggers- Blighted ovum). This time I did have VERY SLIGHT spotting- (TMI only when I wiped and only for a day) but I am taking that as Implantation bleeding. So YEA...LOL I hope :)      The only thing that stinks is that I delivered DD at home and wanted to do that with our second but we are military and moving to Omaha NE and they don't take kindly to midwives up there...so no HB...I dont' think- but there is a VERY nice stand alone birth center I had already looked into :) Next best thing :)

[fateme]

hi

[Starfish11]

Congrats, Gratefulstella!!! . Lots of sticky vibes for you.

[dayiscoming2006]

Congrats gratefulstella! :)

[FreedEm11]

Grats Stella! We went crazy telling everyone last time too and it didn't stick, so I completely understand. I'm sure I will want to tell mothering since we are not going to tell others right away when we get our bfp. Again, sooo exciting!

Welcome fateme.

[anyalily]

GratefulStella, that is a nice looking positive!

Fateme, welcome. What's your story?

I find myself a little obsessed about the possibility of still being pregnant. I know it is crazy, but DH said something last night about what if we just miscarried a twin. The crazy part is that I had the same thought. I only bled for 4 days and it was never gushing... DD has been talking twins forever, so I think she planted the idea in us. I made an appt. for tomorrow with my Dr. to get a blood test. I tried to work out yesterday and felt weird, and breakfast has not been sitting well the last two days. I never did start with morning sickness, so it isn't like a continuation of symptoms... I also feel like my uterus is still full feeling and I am bloated. I haven't been brave enough to POAS again, yet, because whether if it is positive it won;t really tell me anything... I know it is super unlikely, and I am not even hoping, because I am still having to use cedar oil in our environment and now I know it can cause miscarriage, so I would worry like crazy if somehow I still was pregnant... 

Sigh. Drama mama, over here.

[dayiscoming2006]

Anyalily - good you are at least making sure.

[JustJenny]

Anyalily - can you move me to tww please :)

Anyone want to take a look at my chart and guess when I o'd?  I just started using opk's the last 3 months. This was the first month that I've received a positive but its after when I think I o'd on cd16. I didn't get the positive until cd17. Usually I have a large temp dip but didn't this time for some reason.  I'm confused! Aren't you supposed to o after the positive? If this is right I could have seriously been reading my charts wrong.  

Here's my chart:   http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/241e11

[dakipode]

JustJenny: I took a quick peek and I'd say the 16th. I only use the OPKs to confirm the other signs. You didn't even get a light line? Mine start light and gradually darken, then go lighter again...

[dayiscoming2006]

Just Jenny: Somewhere between the 16th and the 19th. I'm new at figuring this stuff out, but I thought you have to have a positive OPK before you O?
